I mean, shit happens. It’s not unheard of. It’d been over 20 years since I built a kit, and I have to say, even with my limited experience building them, the LC kit was a real pleasure to build with no big issues. Aside from the weird shock body thing (which got resolved quickly and painlessly) there were zero unpleasant surprises in my LC12 kit. Parts were organized into their respective bags, clearly labeled, and nothing was missing. The manual was clear and well done with each step being well illustrated. If the some of the things I’ve heard about a few big manufacturers current kits are true, the LC kits are a cake walk.
